Unlocking
the Data
Science
We believe that "Data Science needs to be unlocked”
Science needs to be simpler and the Data needs to be easier to understand. This will accelerate the transformation of organizations, society and the economy.
Decoding
Data
Economy
We decode the tangible and intangible elements of Big Data's impact and create tools to help in an analytical future.
These studies help global leaders in their current decisions, and identify issues that will be part of our lives in the very near future creating strategic, social, or organizational movements.
We identify important issues and opportunities related to the Big Data phenomenon.
We investigate the impact of data on society, economy and organizations.
We decode all of this in analysis and theories that explain the analytical evolution.
Our
Studies
Our studies explain the impact of data on society and business, and expose future scenarios, making it easier to adapt to this analytical future. They are presented in reports, analysis and workshops.
Some examples of studies are:
+ Big Data Society
+ The unicorn data scientist
+ Infoxication
+ Decision-Making Gaps
+ Failing Algorithms
+ Swim Lanes
+ Data Science Skills
+ Decoding of social behavior
Shaping
Analytical
Evolution
In our laboratories, we study the most unique theories and techniques, gather scientists, researchers, institutions and companies. They all work for long periods of time prototyping, testing hypotheses and developing the best practices to use. They then create methods that simplify data science and accelerate analytical development to provide more efficiency in a world flooded with data.
Some of the models developed in our laboratories are currently used in private, social and public organizations around the world, such as the US Government, The World Bank, Google, Santander, Rede Globo, Unilever, Ambev, Itaú, Coca-Cola and many others.
Our
Tools
The Cappra Data Science methodologies are shaped by analytical tools created in our laboratory, then applied in real environments with complex problems, and are constantly updated.
Some examples of these tools are:
+ Analytical Development Frameworks
+ Data-driven Workflows
+ Data Science Methods
+ New Analysis Models
+ Processes for the design of analytical products
+ Tools for measuring teams
+ Measurement Systems
+ Workflow for building dashboards
+ Frames for KPI's design
Members of
Data Science
Lab
We create the opportunity for organizations that need to be ahead of the market. They connect directly to our data science laboratory in the US, participating in the scientific design process. The "Member Organizations" are involved in the creation of new projects, are engaged in the process of creating methods directly with our research and development team, and are placed in a test environment that stimulates error and innovation, generating value only when hypotheses are validated.
The benefits for member organizations are:
+ Continuous transfer of knowledge
+ Development of professional specialists
+ Creation of new models and generation of innovation
+ Exclusive intellectual property
Shaping the
Analytical
Future
Organizations around the world use methods developed by CAPPRA, for all different purposes. We help by decoding the data economy, shaping analytic evolution, driving analytical transformation, prototyping data science, democratizing science and analytic culture, and empowering the analytic community.
It's always about people looking for simpler ways to use the data. We help shape this more analytical future, where data is not the resource of experts, but a path to collective empowerment.

Driving Analytical Culture
NO ORGANIZATION WILL BE LEFT OUT OF THE ANALYTICAL TRANSFORMATION THAT THE WORLD IS EXPERIENCING.
Business will be increasingly digital, management will need to be more data-driven and people will need to be more analytical.
The analytical transformation
We drive organizations in the analytical transformation of their businesses, participate in the design of the strategy, the execution of the work, and support all the processes of development of competences, products and analytical culture.
CAPPSULA is our analytical culture implementation program, based on methods developed in our laboratory. It has already helped many leaders and organizations around the world to accelerate analytical transformation.
Reduce scientific complexity
We create tools that reduce scientific complexity for the transfer of knowledge, application of complex methodologies and conduction of the process of analytical transformation in organizations. We adopt dynamic methods that facilitate participation, co-construction and engagement of people.
WORKSHOP: Knowledge transfer
Data Science Explore; Dashboard Concept & Design; Key Performance Indicator's Plan; Analytical Leadership Development.
BOOTCAMP: Application of methodology and practice orientation
Knowledge Database Concept; Key Performance Indicator's Hack; Decision-making Hacking; Social Big Data Analysis.
HACKATHON: Co-execution and technical governance
Social Big Data Hackathon; Advanced Analytics; Design of Algortihms.
Prototyping Data Science
In some cases, when the level of technical complexity is very high and there are no methods to solve the problem, we prototype together, with the team of our clients, a specific data science application to be applied in the business.
In these situations, we mix our scientists with our client's business team and technical team, and continue development rounds that can last for long periods of time. We explore all facets of the problem, developing a customized solution together with the client. These marathons usually result in specific products, competitive business differentials, transforming a traditional operational routine into application of "management science”.
Accelerating Analytical Culture
The acceleration of the analytical culture is only possible when it is method based, facilitating the engagement of business people and supporting the technical team in the development of solutions. We are only co-adjutants in the process. We lead people to make the transformation in business.
Our clients operate their own data-driven performance rooms, make decisions analyzing their dashboards, create advanced analyzes to accelerate business evolution, and teach new rules for algorithms. In short, the analytical mindset becomes an asset, and is part of the culture of the business.
COLAB
We work as a CoLab of data science. Meaning, we co-create the data strategy, identify analytical opportunities with the business areas, assist in the development of processes and teams, and create analytical product prototypes. Our main goal is to transfer knowledge, and create the best practices and methods for the customer. The people of the company become self sufficient to sustain the Analytical Culture.
“Every organization will be reimagined with data”
